Supreme Court cases (e.g., Citizens United v. FEC)

Certainly. *Citizens United v. FEC* (2010) was a landmark Supreme Court case that ruled corporations and unions have First Amendment rights to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns, as long as they do so independently of candidates. This decision effectively allowed for the rise of Super PACs and increased the influence of money in politics, arguing that restricting such expenditures violates free speech. The ruling sparked ongoing debate about the impact of wealth on political influence and election integrity.
